Beach Cricket Blast set for Carlisle Bay

The Beach Cricket Blast returns to Carlisle Bay from September 11-13, promising quality cricket, community engagement and entertainment. The three-day festival will bring together cricket personalities, content creators, corporate participants, community partners and fans for a unique beach cricket experience designed to connect new audiences with the game. On the opening day, 250 students from 12 primary schools across the island will participate in the RBC Community Blast, featuring skills challenges, prizes and interactive experiences. The opening day programme will also showcase the new VTEX Skillz Challenge, which pits six international content creators and influencers against a team of seven Barbados-based influencers and public figures in a battle for island bragging rights. At the heart of Beach Cricket Blast 2026 will be six teams competing for the title across two days of fast-paced beach cricket action. Returning teams, Deloitte, Guardian Life and Republic Bank, will be looking to build on their previous campaigns, while newcomers RBC, the MVPz Content Creator All-Stars and Barmy Army bring fresh energy and new storylines to this year’s tournament. Adam Hall, CEO of Cricket Impact Group, said, “Beach Cricket Blast has grown into much more than a cricket tournament. It is a platform that brings together community, business, creators, fans and cricket personalities in a unique environment. From the RBC Community Blast and the new VTEX Skillz Challenge to the tournament itself, every part of the event is designed to create memorable experiences and introduce new audiences to the game.” (PR/KH)
